Fall/Winter/Spring Class Descriptions:

Fine Art Lessons

Recommended for ages 10 and up, though younger students may be considered if they are able to focus quietly.

Fine Art Lessons are work at your own pace classes, designed to build technical skill while focusing on subject matter that inspires each student. Students are encouraged to bring printed reference photos to class as inspiration, while working on each piece.  If students are unable to do this, the studio has an extensive binder of reference options.  Classes meet once a week, with 4 week commitment.  In order to best place students, a  review of portfolio/example pieces and interview is required to enroll in any of the fine art classes.    These classes require a strong ability to focus and work independently.  $30/lesson.  Class size: up to 6 students depending on the needs of the group.
